I was hooked into the world of Web design in 2000 whilst studying ICT at A level. I wanted more, so a career on the I.T side of the automotive trade set me up to where I am today, dreaming and talking in code.
I have studied long and hard and with no expense spared, having ascertained the Internationally recognised Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) Professional qualification, in October of 2010.
I am proud to say all of my knowledge is completely self taught, in HTML, CSS, Adobe CS5: PS/FW, and also having some knowledge with AI/Flash/Jquery and Javascript. My quest for learning more does not stop there, I am continually picking up new techniques/ideas and tools, to further my development and design skills.
My goal is to work in a professional environment where I wish to expand my current knowledge and skillset.
